Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new event (in the future), for instance, if the time is 11:57, starting at 12:00 and an alarm 1 minute before the event starts. 2. Wait until 11:59 (or more) with the above example. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: An alarm window should have been opened for this event.
In fact, it seems that I get the notifications (displayed and by e-mail) only when I enter a new event (but anyway, this is too late).

(In reply to comment #1) > In fact, it seems that I get the notifications (displayed and by e-mail) only > when I enter a new event (but anyway, this is too late). Are you saying that the alarms are working if it is a new event but not on ones previously entered?
No, I meant that I didn't get any notification first the first entered event until I entered a second event. Anyway this particular bug is now fixed, but I still sometimes get notifications for old tasks or events (which I should have got much earlier).
After updating to 2004040815-cal with Mozilla/5.0(X11;U;Linux i686;en-US;rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 I no longer get alarm notifications. Same procedure as the first comment, create an event, set the time for a short time from now with the alarm being set for a minute or two from current time, and no popup ever happens, no email is ever sent. My machine doesn't have sound so I don't know about the sound. Preferences are set to popup and make a sound, I've tested it with sending email also. Even though it seemed unlikely, I tested it with the popup blocker off also. I tested it with creating an additional event but that had no effect. I used to have a problem where if I had two or more alarms that were set to go off before I started calendar that it would crash mozilla. I have no idea if the two are somehow related, but I thought it couldn't hurt to mention it.
Concerning the following alarm which was fired during the night, though Calendar was running for days, is it because Calendar didn't fire it at the right time?

It seems that this bug has been fixed. Brad, do you still get this bug?
I get the same behaviour in the last sunbird build (and previous versions too). It seems that this bug happens after the computer (I use a dell d600 laptop) returns from a suspend. Sometimes it takes more than one suspend for it to happen.
Yes, this bug still occurs (but it seems to occur randomly, or perhaps for some alarms due to a miscomputation?). I had the following data in one of my .ics files: X-MOZILLA-LASTALARMACK :20040817T090040 DTSTART :20040719T103000 DUE :20040901T090000 DTSTAMP :20040722T082454Z LAST-MODIFIED :20040901T093549Z PERCENT-COMPLETE :100 COMPLETED :20040830T000000 BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER ;VALUE=DURATION ;RELATED=END :-P2D END:VALARM and got the alarm at 2004-09-28 22:30 +0200 exactly (together with another alarm, also firing up too late). Why did I get the notification at this time? Note: a few hours ago, I unchecked the calendar, updated the .ics file (due to a remote modification, but unrelated to the above alarm), and checked it again. Is there a way to know the pending alarms? And could all the data related to alarm notification be written to a log file so that more debug information can be given?
Sorry, I thought I'd responded to this. I no longer have this bug problem. Sunbird still crashes when I have two or more alarms that go off at start. I should write a bug for that.
This works fine with TB 1.0/Calendar 2005-1-11
Vincent, The last two comments on this bug have been that it has been solved. Are you still experiencing this with the latest version of calendar?
I can't receive e-mail notification of alarm (WinXP)
(In reply to comment #12) > I can't receive e-mail notification of alarm (WinXP) Marco, Are you using sunbird or calendar? If you're using calendar, which product is it installed as an extension for? Can you provide any other details? Do regular alarm pop-ups go off on schedule? Did emailing ever work? Are there any errors shown in the javascript console?
*** Bug 292144 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Marco's issue was handled separately. Given comment #11 and no response from the reporter, I'm resolving this bug wfm.

I haven't noticed any problem since my last command (but I haven't been able to use Calendar on the PPC for several months).
The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
